Hiya

I have a class 9 ARC trialler

80" on coils

It ARC log booked for CCV's + Comp Safari's but ive heard that its quite easy to get into trouble with bouncing forwards + back due to it being so short

Id just like to hear from people in the know as I want to do some comps but dont realy want to buy yet another off road toy

Cheers all

James

They aren't that stable. On fast comps you will struggle to be competitive, on others your light weight and short wheel base will be an advantage.

Don't worry too much, I'd say just go out and enjoy it. After all, however highly spec'd your motor is you wont win without experience.

Yes definitely go out and give it a go. Drive at your own pace and back off if it becomes a problem.

If you get the comp bug, then doubtless you'll ultimately want something with a longer wheelbase, but there is certainly no harm in getting out there with what you've got.

Pitching will be one problem, the ability to swap ends in short order another, but as long as you are prepared you can deal with these things. It'll be fun! But as has already been said you'll win in the twisty bits!
